Twenty holiday gift picks for 2011 — #5: Low-tech laughs

Whether the recipient is the world’s slowest tech adopter, intentionally rejects pop culture’s push to collect the next great gadget, aspires to family game night, or is simply nostalgic: It’s hard to go wrong with an old-school game.

Consider the Atari Flashback 3, a boxy, black game console that comes preloaded with such classics as Asteroids and Frog Ponds and of course has those clunky-cute old joysticks. Amazon has it for $64.99 and Toys-R-Us has a model for $49.99. But you might even find it for less in the gift aisle of your neighborhood grocery store.
